Thanks for the info, that clarifies matters. I interpreted your use
of "Win32" to refer to platform-wide problems, not the (hierarchical)
win32 API binding.
 
The issue has been fixed, but you may want to consider using the
non-hierarchical 'win32' hslibs package for the projects you refer to.
It has been proven to work, something the hierarchical version hasn't
yet (due to lack of wider-scale testing.) If people working on/with
the Win32 library think that's an unfair claim, please speak up to pass
on the good news.

As reported when 6.4 first came out:

C:\temp>ghci Toast.hs
   ___         ___ _
  / _ \ /\  /\/ __(_)
 / /_\// /_/ / /  | |      GHC Interactive, version 6.4, for Haskell 98.
/ /_\\/ __  / /___| |      http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
\____/\/ /_/\____/|_|      Type :? for help.

Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done.
Compiling Toast            ( Toast.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Toast.
*Toast> test
Loading package Win32-1.0 ... <interactive>: Not x86 PEi386
ghc.exe: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.4):
        loadObj: failed

Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org,
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.


*Toast>


where Toast.hs is:

module Toast where {

    import Graphics.Win32;
   
    test = messageBox hWND_TOPMOST "Hello" "World" mB_OK;

}

Could you expand on what exactly those problems are?
It would be a pity if some of them ended up not being addressed
due to them not being generally known about.

thx

I'd like to second this - the Win32 problems in 6.4 are preventing several projects from moving forward.

Any word on 6.4.1? The major FFI bug in 6.4 is holding back some
